If you like Straight, you should try Elpaca
The second one is a little bit more complicated. For a number of packages I kind of abuse use-package/straight to separate out setup of different files/modes contained within the same package into their own use-package statement. Good example of this is my setup for helm. ) For example, after the normal (use-package helm …) statement, I have the below which configures helm-files related stuff, which comes from helm-for-files.el within the helm package:

New package yank-indent automatically sets correct indentation on yanked/pasted text
If anyone is curious of the hacky solution I used to have in my config, here is the comment where I initially replaced it with an earlier version of yank-indent.

How to use Emacs 29 Tree-sitter?
I did a similar thing with yaml-mode highlight queries in my config before the highlights were merged in. You can see the relevant commit in my config here: https://github.com/jimeh/.emacs.d/commit/ebbdab36fb2a3d635d591cc3179b8f4ed9a476d0

How Can I Start the Daunting Task of Making my Own Config?
I'm two months in (without any programming experience) and I've gone through various re-writes (from a literate .org init to a modular setup akin to Emacs Prelude or Siren configurations. (See: https://github.com/jimeh/.emacs.d)

Emacs Bedrock–A minimal Emacs starter kit
I can vouch for general.el[1]. It's easy to use and it integrates with use-package clauses, which-key and evil states. You can look at my config[2] for examples.

Evil mode's kinda hacky
If you need more fine-grained keybindings control use https://github.com/noctuid/general.el

symbols function definition is void: map!
If you're relying heavily on Evil states and leader keys I also recommend this package: https://github.com/noctuid/general.el

bind.el -- A key binder with prefix, autoload, repeat-mode and save&restore support
If I have to say one or two things about them, general's readme looks a lot and may be hard to grasp for starters who just want to bind keys. I want bind to be the go to package for newcomers and unify people who are just bored of typing define-key or okay with looping since bind is close to that simplicity yet being powerful due to its design. If you are missing something, please open an issue and see if we can add it.

How do you call interactive commands with arguments like in vim?
For binding keys I highly recommend the package noctuid/general.el. Specifically binding to general-key-dispatch. Something like: (general-define-key :states '(normal visual) "/" (general-key-dispatch "/" 'ag-search :default 'evil-search-forward))

Anyone here uses evil-mode with Colemak-DH? How did you set up yours?
I use standard Colemak. I've added the following configuration to be able to exit insert mode by pressing l and h in sequence (that key combination is convenient to type, but still uncommon enough in most words, the main exception being localhost). (general-imap "l" (general-key-dispatch 'self-insert-command :timeout 0.25 "h" 'evil-normal-state)) The above code uses https://github.com/noctuid/general.el.

Help with setting up emacs on windows
https://github.com/noctuid/general.el Keybinding and leader-key manager for Emacs. There are other packages but this is the best one imo - it even includes vim-style map commands.

A good config with leader keys
Gonna drop a link to https://github.com/noctuid/general.el

any users of the Japanese input method? question about input-method.
(general is a keybinding helper package, not strictly necessary but way simpler than the default)
What are some alternatives?
When comparing .emacs.d and general.el you can also consider the following projects:
projectile - Project Interaction Library for Emacs
use-package - A use-package declaration for simplifying your .emacs
dogears.el - Never lose your place in Emacs again
emacs-which-key - Emacs package that displays available keybindings in popup
tree-sitter-c-sharp - C# Grammar for tree-sitter
evil-collection - A set of keybindings for evil-mode
diff-hl - Emacs package for highlighting uncommitted changes
key-chord-multiple - A GNU Emacs minor mode that allows binding commands to multiple simultaneously pressed keys.
